They are going to color a winter scene of a boy and girl sliding down hill on a sled. In the background is the second grade Spelling'Chart. We started using the chart in September and hope to continue using it until June. Each time we get our words right, our teacher gives us a gold star on the chart. If we miss one word, we are given a silver star and if we miss two words, our teacher gives us a blue star. This is another group of second grade children seated in front of the room listening to the story of Curious George Takes at Job. Before reading the story, our teacher explained the use of the pocket inside the back cover and the date due sheet. When words occur in this story that are unfamiliar to the child, they are placed on the board and their meaning explained. This increases their vocabulary. Some of the stories read during the year are brought to school by the children. 'A' 'k 'I' Here, while becoming accustomed to school life, the children study reading, writing, arithmetic, phonics and word cards, and music. Oral reading is one of the main ac- complishments of the first grade. Word drill and phonics, which are essential to good reading are practiced. They learn to write short sentences for the development of their writing skill. Arithmetic consists mainly of counting, writing numbers. and simple combinations. On the blackboard, we have a chart, where we put the names of the boys and girls who can count to one hundred and also write the numbers to one hundred. When they can do this, they may choose the color of chalk with which to write their name. We also have fun playing with numbers on our flannel board. i s'ue F Ellen Hurley,'l'eggy l-rank, Carol Henley, Elizabeth Millard, Carol Morris, XX esley Deniming, Gary Stolberg, Ruth McMurtry, Mary Ellen Parker, Carolyn Bennett, James liorr, Jacqueline Norman, .

'I gd . Our Social Studies deals with the subjects of food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and communication. The Clothing Unit, on which we were working was of great interest. Wool, rubber, silk, and linen have been studied. Cotton was the topic at the time. Someone brought some real cotton bolls to school. The children examined the bolls to discover the seeds. The tex- ture of the cotton was compared with wool, rayon, and silk. Through the study of raw materials, interest was created, booklets were made, pictures were collected, posters were plan- ned and more reading promoted for information. Each child gained respect for the workers. who toil to help make the clothes we wear. Reading is one of the most important subjects taught in third grade. The materials chosen are to meet the needs and interests of the children, expand and enrich their experiences, and provide for the development of good tastes in reading. Our basic readers have a relative amount of real and fanciful ma- terial, but emphasis is placed on factual materials. The Unit of work here is on Our Animal Friends. As we study each animal, pictures are collected and posted for all to see. Stories are written and a bibliography is posted of stories in other li- brary books. This develops an interest in independent reading. This group is being introduced to a new animal friend by means of a story and picture discussion.

In our Health we studied about Safety First for the Teeth. Each pupil let one of his sixth-year molars help teach the important things about teeth. The boys called their good- tooth friend, Jimmy Chew, and the girls called theirs, Judy Chew. We made booklets with Jimmy or Judy's picture on the cover. Inside we put stories and pictures about the four big helps to good teeth- Right Food, Chewing Exercise, The Tooth- brush, and The Dentist. We have a chart and are trying to remember to brush our teeth each day. Joe Manygoats and His Sheep is the title of one of our very interesting Social Studies units. Joe is a little Navsho Indian boy who lives in Southwestern United States. In connec- tion with the unit, we arranged this exhibit of Indian articles, which included pottery. rugs, a blanket, totem pole, jewelry, arrowheads, and several Indian dolls. These were borrowed from different persons, so out of this grew the need for Thank You letters which we wrote in English. Along with this unit we also studied the poem Hiawatha which was written by our grade poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Iva-v 1

You now find toys on the shelves in place of dishes. The pictures and furniture in the room make up our kindergarten. The room is not very large. At first we sat around little square tables which were made by the school. These were very satisfactory, but soon we found round ones to be even better. The stage of the gymnasium gives us room for free and supervised play. The first day of school we were quite thrilled with the idea of going to school, especially riding the school bus. We all preferred the big school bus to the station wagon. The Watchbirds have helped us to remember our good behavior. They have kept an eye on us continually. We do not have our activities scheduled exactly the same every day. We like variety, and furthermore, our half days are too short to follow the same pattern every day. Our activities are guided somewhat by our feelings, the weather, and the holiday seasons. On a rainy day, we like to read and sing about the rain, but on a sunny day, we can't even stay inside. In the early springtime, we enjoy walks to observe the signs of spring. Most of our study is really play. We play at housekeeping, car- ing for children fdollsj, buying, selling, and building. Some of our handwork activities included the making of valentines, kites, and furniture for a doll house. OUR photography.

Mr. Schwalb was highly recommended by our prin- cipal and has been our yearbook photog- rapher for two successive years. This year he spent nearly three days with us as car trouble delayed his attempts to get here early. We admire him for his painstaking efforts in this art of
